Wide Awake! (stylized as "Wide Awaaaaake!") is the sixth studio album by American indie rock band Parquet Courts, released on May 18, 2018 on Rough Trade Records.

The album was preceded by the singles "Almost Had to Start a Fight/In and Out of Patience", "Wide Awake", and "Mardi Gras Beads", and succeeded by the single "Total Football".

Background

[edit]

The album was first announced in February 2018 and recorded from December 2017 to January 2018 at Sonic Ranch studios outside Tornillo, Texas. The band recruited Danger Mouse to produce the album, as the band claimed, as a way to push themselves outside of their comfort zone. On recruiting Danger Mouse for the album, Andrew Savage said, "I was writing a record that indebted to punk and funk, and Brian's a pop producer who's made some very polished records. I liked that it didn’t make sense."[6]

In an interview with Billboard, Savage described the album having a funk influence, saying, "there's this duality between joy and anger that I find to be really interesting, and that's something the record kind of deals with at large. ... [H]ardcore could be such an angry music form but could make you feel so positive. There's a lot of moments on the record when all of us are singing at the same time and... that's something I kind of associate with hardcore, or Funkadelic."[7]

Savage characterized opening song, "Total Football", as "a bit like a manifesto; it's got that bold and declarative language, with each line emphasizing the larger ideology". Savage said that the song addresses the "duality of collectivity and individuality", referencing in its title the Total Football system in association football. The title of the album was intended as a "tongue-in-cheek" response to "wokeness".[8] Savage described the closing track, "Tenderness", as being complimentary to the opener, sharing its "manifesto-like" lyrical style. Other songs concern endemic violence, addiction, dysfunction, environmental disaster, and the normalization of these things.[9] Austin Brown said: "In such a hateful era of culture, we stand in opposition to that – and to the nihilism used to cope with that – with ideas of passion and love."[10]

Wide Awake! received critical acclaim upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 82, based on 28 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".[12] In a five-star review, Emma Swan of DIY called the album, "a gut-punch of an immediate classic".[23] Writing for Exclaim! magazine, Vish Kanna said that Wide Awake! "is a letter-perfect musical contemplation of modern times, where social uprisings are actually affecting positive change. It's urgent and potent music that's thought-provoking and danceable, and whose rage is measured by a pointed optimism."[24] Roy Trakin, in a rave review for Variety, praised the album for its social conscience in its day and age, stating it "may be the most woke punk-rock record since the heyday of the Clash."[2] Will Hermes in Rolling Stone named Violence as a standout track and described it as "an epic rant about normalized barbarity".[20] In Pitchfork, Mike Powell wrote that at the "heart of the album" is "a tension between the individual and the group, between the angst of freedom and the lull of dependence".[18]

In a more mixed review, Chris Nelson of Mojo wrote that "unsurprisingly, it flies the Wire and Minutemen flags high. More surprising are the occasional nods to funk and '60s bubblegum."[25]

Wide Awake! was named 'album of the year' in an end-of-year list by Australian radio station Double J,[26] and the second-best album of 2018 by Paste.[27] It was named 51st best album of the 2010s by NME.[28]

Its collaboration with Danger Mouse represented a pivotal achievement in broadening the band's sound while preserving their raw, confrontational ethos.

Development

Conception and writing

Following the release of their 2016 album Human Performance, which explored introspective personal themes, Parquet Courts shifted toward broader socio-political concerns in conceiving Wide Awake!, influenced by the turbulent U.S. of , including the Trump presidency's early months and events like the . The band aimed for a more optimistic and confrontational tone, emphasizing and resistance against apathy, violence, , and white privilege, as seen in early song ideas addressing normalization of societal ills. This marked a departure from prior lo-fi toward outward engagement, with promoting hope and love as antidotes to . Songwriting was led by vocalists and guitarists Andrew Savage (A. Savage) and Austin Brown, who developed tracks through iterative demos and personal inspirations before formal production. Savage contributed punk-infused manifestos on themes like economic uncertainty and American violence, drawing from hardcore influences and real-world encounters, such as a tense interaction with a Trump supporter that sparked "Almost Had to Start a Fight/In and Out of Patience." Brown focused on love, grief, and collectivism, incorporating elements from artists like Grace Jones and Parliament, as in "Mardi Gras Beads," which reframed past romantic lyrics into a plea for tenderness amid chaos. Their process emphasized unpolished drafts prioritizing lyrical directness and rhythmic energy, aligning with the album's goal of accessible yet substantive protest. To achieve wider reach beyond their raw, DIY roots, the band decided early to enlist producer Danger Mouse (Brian Burton), seeking his expertise in infusing groove and polish while preserving their edge and subverting mainstream expectations. This choice reflected a deliberate push for danceable, collective-oriented material that could engage broader audiences without diluting core messages of resistance and optimism.

Recording and production

Recording for Wide Awake! took place from December 2017 to January 2018 at in and Studios in . The sessions marked the band's first collaboration with an external producer, Brian Burton—known professionally as Danger Mouse—contrasting their prior self-produced albums. Danger Mouse's involvement emphasized a collaborative approach, functioning primarily as an engineer who guided the band through rhythmic and performance-focused decisions rather than imposing a signature style. Guitarist , who typically handled mixing for , ceded control to Danger Mouse, allowing for step-by-step refinements in groove and overall cohesion while preserving the band's established workflow. This process incorporated expanded elements such as synths and drum machines—driven by keyboardist Sean Yeaton's interests—alongside layered guitars and rhythmic experimentation to introduce and influences without diluting the core punk drive. Mixing was handled by Claudius Mittendorfer, with mastering by at Sterling Sound, resulting in a sharper, more expansive sound that balanced raw energy with danceable rhythms.

Music and lyrics

Musical style

fuses and with funk influences, featuring upbeat tempos, angular guitar riffs, and propulsive bass lines that emphasize danceable rhythms over the band's earlier sparse, lo-fi . The production, handled by Danger Mouse, introduces cleaner mixes and subtle synthetic elements, such as swirling synth textures, which enhance accessibility while preserving the raw energy of live performance-oriented arrangements suitable for both mosh pits and dance floors. Tracks like "" highlight call-and-response vocal structures and repetitive, hook-driven patterns that drive listener engagement through rhythmic repetition and harmonic simplicity layered with complexity. The album's sonic palette draws from diverse rock traditions, incorporating bouncy bass grooves and crunchy chord progressions that evoke historical influences like Gil Scott-Heron's spoken-word delivery in tracks such as "," without adhering to genre purity. This blend results in a versatile sound that shifts fluidly between aggression and groovy, movement-inducing elements.

Lyrical themes

The lyrics of Wide Awake! explore a tension between individual and , often framing societal dysfunction through personal observation rather than prescriptive ideology. In the opening track "Total Football," vocalist invokes the soccer tactic of positional fluidity as a for from rigid expectations, asserting that "collectivism and / Are not mutually exclusive" while rejecting apologies to those uncomfortable with liberation goals. This reflects a communitarian ideal where enhance rather than suppress personal agency, though the lyrics simplify complex social coordination by equating it to artistic or athletic interchangeability without addressing empirical barriers like incentive misalignment or free-rider problems. Tracks like "Violence" confront pervasive American aggression, with Savage describing it in an NPR interview as the album's most explicit treatment of the theme, rooted in "unreached understanding" that manifests daily as "the fruit of scoundrels" and a "forest so dense and rooted in our past." The song links violence to normalization of , classism, and , chanting " is daily life" amid references to identity and systemic , yet offers no causal dissection beyond poetic invocation, aligning with left-leaning attributions of entrenched inequities to historical rather than verifiable outcomes or behavioral incentives. Amid these depictions of despair, the lyrics inject optimism through absurdism and calls for tenderness, as in "Tenderness," which positions the band as replacements for "old stubborn hands" on society's clock, implying renewal via empathy over confrontation. Songs like "Normalization" question thresholds for acceptability—"What do we call normal? What do we call outrageous?"—favoring reflective provocation over didactic solutions, while personal tracks such as "Freebird II" blend economic uncertainty with youthful resilience, avoiding overt collectivist mandates in favor of individualistic navigation of chaos. Overall, the album's words promote wakefulness to ills like climate denial in "Before the Water Gets Too High" without rigorous evidence for proposed communitarian fixes, prioritizing emotional urgency over first-principles causal analysis.

Criticisms and controversies

Some listeners and reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with the album's lyrical content, viewing its explicit socio-political messaging as overly didactic and ideologically driven at the expense of artistic depth. In a discussion on r/indieheads shortly after the May 18, 2018 release, one user critiqued the as "a collection of unlettered Tweets from teenage socialists," suggesting they embodied a form of political posturing that overshadowed substantive songcraft. Similar sentiments appeared in user reviews on Album of the Year, where the album received scores as low as 50/100, with complaints that the songwriting failed to match the instrumentation's potential, implying a prioritization of messaging over or nuance. The production, handled by Danger Mouse (Brian Burton), introduced funk and disco-punk elements that some fans perceived as a departure from Parquet Courts' rawer punk roots toward a more commercial, polished sound. This shift was described in online forums as "watered down" compared to the band's prior album Human Performance (2016), with added funk deemed insufficient to revitalize perceived inconsistencies in earlier work. Critics of this evolution argued it diluted the group's authenticity, transforming gritty into something "cartoony" and less cohesive, particularly in transitions like "Back to Earth" into the title track. While the album's emphasis on collectivist responses to issues like inequality and drew from mainstream outlets, dissenting analyses highlighted potential oversimplifications in its causal attributions, such as framing societal problems through broad ideological lenses without sufficient attention to individual agency or empirical counterpoints.

Fan discussions echoed this, affirming the record's structural and thematic integrity held up without diminishing returns, distinguishing it from transient hype. The album marked a pivotal expansion in ' sound, incorporating producer Danger Mouse's polish to broaden their roots into more hi-fi experimentation, which informed later works like 2021's but coincided with the band's trajectory toward curtailed activity, culminating in a 2024 announcement to halt performances beyond existing obligations. This shift positioned Wide Awake! as a creative zenith of their accessible phase, after which internal dynamics and market constraints prompted reevaluation of the quartet format. Within indie rock, Wide Awake! exemplified the genre's resilience in merging overt political critique—on topics like and inequality—with melodic hooks and communal optimism, avoiding dilution into mainstream pop while sustaining niche cult status; however, its influence remained bounded by ' avoidance of broader commercial avenues, limiting ripple effects beyond dedicated indie audiences. Recent appreciations in further evidenced this niche longevity, with writers citing its uncompromised edge as a benchmark for politically engaged yet groove-oriented indie output.
